Infinitely Jestin' About: Why Fish Don't Exist
In this episode, Cian and Greg discuss Lulu Miller's Why Fish Don't Exist (Hint: It's because humans suck at putting labels on natural things). David Starr Jordan kinda sucks, and we get kinda aggro about it. Enjoy!

Infinitely Jestin' About: Chapter 2
TW: Drug Use and Addiction Discussed, Suicided Mentioned.
In this episode, Cian and Greg talk about the second chapter of Infinite Jest, "Year of the Depend Adult Undergarment," consisting of pages 17 through 27 of the novel. They meet Erdedy, a man with a crippling addiction to marijuana whose every action and thought is affected by the drug's temptations. While nothing really happens in the chapter, there's still a lot to analyze and speak about. We hope you enjoy! -
Infinitely Jestin' About: Chapter 1
The journey begins. Cian and Greg talk about Hal Incandenza and his interview disaster, moss-eating habits, and grammatical and literary command. "Year of Glad," consisting of pages 3 through 17 of the text, is a beautiful opening to this behemoth of a book. We hope you enjoy it.
